Housecall For Health: Daylight Saving Time

This weekend, we turn the clocks back by one hour for Daylight Saving Time.  But you shouldn’t be too quick to be excited about a potential extra hour of sleep, or staying out later.

FOX’s Colleen Cappon explains why in today’s edition of “Housecall For Health”:

For many, Daylight Saving Time simply means remembering to change your clocks.  According to Doctor John Sharp a Neuropsychiatrist at Beth-Israel, the time change can have negative effects on your health.  Daylight saving can cause a tired feeling of jet-lag, depression, and even increased appetite.  He recommended altering your sleep schedule in small steps, keeping meals consistent, and drinking an extra cup of coffee if you’re feeling lethargic.
